We believe that you and your employees will find our growing community to be a friendly, progressive, and rewarding place in which to relocate and prosper.

While accommodating on-going changes and development, residents have maintained a small town atmosphere.

With close ties to the Bixby Metro Chamber of Commerce, Bixby Public Schools, and local civic groups, long term vision planning, and investment efforts have received strong community support, providing the financial means for new school construction projects, Arkansas River and Downtown development, and improvements in Bixby streets, drainage, park, and public safety facilities.

Bixby features some of the highest population growth as well as most favorable income and educational attainment demographics in Oklahoma. The quality of Bixby Public Schools, status as a safe community, and access to amenities continue to make Bixby a top destination for new residents and businesses.

This is all made possible by a strong community in a strong financial position. We join the Chamber in welcoming you.
